AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Maritime Safety & Accountability: Guyana’s MV Barima ferry disaster continues to worsen, with Prime Minister Mark Phillips saying the death toll has risen to 53 and 55+ still missing as divers and expanded search teams recover more bodies off the Essequibo coast; the government says it will set up an Independent Commission of Inquiry and has arrested the captain and first engineer after marijuana-positive tests, while officials cite major manifest discrepancies and question what really happened. Infrastructure & Hinterland Transport: Public Works Minister Juan Edghill says the US$12.7M MV Ma Lisha remains idle because Port Kaituma’s newly built wharf suffered soil-shift structural problems, forcing reconstruction—highlighting how project readiness affects service delivery. Regional Lessons: Tobago stakeholders are urging stronger marine safety practices after the tragedy, pointing to past incidents and the need to prevent overcrowding and operational failures. Industry & Investment: Rystad Energy flags Guyana as a growing FPSO hotspot, with new units planned for 2026–2028 as ExxonMobil advances Stabroek development. Local Business & Tourism: The Caribbean Premier League is framed as a major regional tourism and commerce driver, with Guyana among host territories for the 2026 season.
